The Buffalo Bandits were founded in 1991 and originally played as part of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League, which was the predecessor of the National Lacrosse League. The Bandits have assembled a solid and stable core of long-term members, who have played a key role in leading the team to a total of four National Lacrosse League titles and nine Eastern Division trophies. Nine of the team’s players and personnel, including two of its head coaches and a general manager, have been inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame over the years.
